It appears that firing Juande Ramos from Malaga wasn’t right decision. The team is unable to win in eight matches in a row since the end of November, recording three draws and seven defeats in all competitions. The team would be involved into relegation battle already but there are teams with even worse results. Malaga are currently 14th in the league with 22 points gained in 21 matches and have 28-35 goal difference. Malaga have major problems in matches on the road this season, taking no away wins this season and recording five draws and six defeats in 11 matches with 11 goals scored and 21 allowed.
Villarreal won their recent four head-to-heads against Malaga with 6-1 on aggregate. Considering the fact that the Yellow Submarine are quite successful at home and Malaga struggling in away matches, we can except the hosts to prevail in the match and take three points.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win.
